Queen Of The Carnival 04:43
lyrics
buy track
QUEEN OF THE CARNIVAL The dazzling gaslight torches Shine down Tchoupitoulas Street Mystic travellers, midnight revelers Lying at her feet She smiled and did the the bump'n' grind Singing: Oh! you pretty things Kissed me under the cajun moon Oh, she pulled my strings Queen of the carnival Wild mutation of a femme fatal Young 'n' fine and six feet tall I follow your parade She'd shake her tamborine all night Teased me with her golden scarf Got me swearing on my bended knee If I ever cease to love I still feel her all over me The soft scent of sweetbay Hear her rushin down the corridor It's kissing and running away Queen of the carnival Will you be here when the evening falls? Sweet melancholia Pleasure of all shades Fallen angel of the Mardi Gras Candy girls and movie stars They all wonder who you are And what's it gonna take There's fever in the funkhouse Look what a mess you made You sweet heartbreaker You bum bum shaker You funky little troublemaker Maybe see you later...

Good Time Charlie 03:15
lyrics

GOOD TIME CHARLIE I'm gonna rent myself a house by the sea All the little birdies gonna talk about me They wonder how I'm doing this, flyin' so high While I'm writin' your name all over the sky I'm your good time charlie That's all I ever been Your cool rockin' daddy Just doin' my thing Good time Charlie It's just a shot in the dark You say you'd like to know all about me I'd rather be a mystery Sure I would help you file your claim If I could only remember my name Just call me good time Charlie That's all you need to know Figure out the rest You won't get a blow by blow Good time Charlie We could have a real good time It's me against reality And I can't always win Just gimme a little break Tomorrow I'll be fine You know to take things easy like this Can be hard work sometimes I could be right and I could be wrong It's hard to tell from just this little song But I'm gonna sing and play for you all night I could be wrong but I could be right I'm your good time charlie Know what I mean? Your cool rockin' daddy Your my vaudeville queen Good time Charlie Smooth and suave Come on, reality - Bring everyone you know I ain't running, I ain't scared - Sittin in the garden and I'm well prepared

Birds 04:23
lyrics

BIRDS Birds draw circles across the evening sky High above the red oak trees You're no bird You just like to fly Drawing circles around me Around and around you go Around and around A passing stranger in a taxi cab A pale white face out of the blue The dancing ghosts in the lobby last night They all looked a lot like you How do you do that thing? How do you do? Each time I see you on the street Girl you're up to something new And when I call you on the phone You always got a million things to do Don't you know your spinning my head Around and around Around and around you go - Around and around Climbing up on a mountain top To clear the fog inside my mind Crack in the sky and with a sonic boom Something strange comes into sight In a velvet moondust cloud Man, that's far-out A cosmic girl with eyes like laser beams From a distant galaxy Slowly floatin' through the universe As she makes stellar love to me At zero gravity She's strangely familiar to me And when I see you on the street You're acting like you just don't know That you've been starring in my wildest dreams About a few moments ago Girl your spinning my head Around and around Each time I see you on the street Girl you're up to something new And when I call you on the phone All lines are busy there's no way to get through Don't you know your spinning my head Around and around Around and around you go - Around and around Do what you want to baby Until one sweet day West winds blowin' And who knows maybe You and I will fly away Like the birds

In This Together 03:44
lyrics

IN THIS TOGETHER Half of my heart is still on the run A straight-up villian carrying a loaded gun The other half is just a little boy Flat on the floor cryin' out with a broken voice I got to know now Will you love me all the way? Darling, will you stay a little while? Are we in this together? Two wrongs that'll make a right Aim straight for my heart and tell me Do I really figure in your life Half of my heart is so full of doubt Like a thief in the night always looking for the easy way out The other half is just a little girl Wants to take your hand and follow you all over the world So let me know now Will you love all the way? Darlin, can I stay by your side? Are we in this together? Two wrongs that'll make a right Aim straight for my heart now baby, Like a shooter in the night Made a bad name for myself around town Too much love in the fast lane will tear your reputation down But if you're bold enough to take a chance on me Hold me real close and tell me what's it gonna be Are we in this together? Two wrongs that'll make a right Aim straight for my heart and tell me Do I really figure in your life Are we in this together? Two wrongs that'll make a right Aim straight for my heart now baby, Like a shooter in the night

Freak Flag 03:58

FREAK FLAG I don't believe in competition You know there's only one of me I won't take part in your audition I found a better place to be So, call up my number Go and check my score Try to put me under You can't catch me anymore I let my freak flag fly High above the city lights They shine so bright Life can be such a sweet thing Take to the sky I'm so hot, I'm catchin' fire You're looking like the new sensation Come and follow me around I heard about your bad reputation What a lovely sound The so called right track what a bummer They tell you: stay in line! That ain't no way to spend the summer So we're coming out tonight Let your freak flag fly High above the city lights You're so devine Life can be such a sweet thing Maybe you can fly You won't find out unless you try You're looking for fun Then you can choose it It's all for free You had the gun You had to use it (I understand...) Just don't point that thing at me Freak out! I let my freak flag fly High above the city lights They shine so bright Life can be such a sweet thing Take to the sky We're so hot we're catchin' fire Let your freak flag fly High above the city lights You're so devine Life can be such a sweet thing Cut the ties Let's live it up before we die

Kind Of Free 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Kind Of Free Staring at the ceiling thinking 'bout a song I heard What a groovy feeling Though my vision's slightly blurred She looks nice - I feel fine As she lays so easy on my mind Days without trouble Taking things the easy way Here inside our bubble The world still looks quite ok So let's take a moonlight ride Who says we can't get high tonight A simple little kind of free Don't know about you but it's alright with me Missed my last train home and I just let it be That feels kind of free – to me Don't need no jewels in my crown They'd just be draggin' me down Hush, hush! Can you hear that sound Watch me take off from the ground A simple little kind of free You know life comes with no guarentees The rules you made up don't apply to me Don't put all your weight on me Let me be free!

A Life By The Sea 03:59
lyrics
buy track
A LIFE BY THE SEA She lives a life by the sea She's always dreamin' Staring 'cross the water from a tree I can see the sun in her eyes Boy, they're beamin' When she drops by for a little love and jasmine tea Lyin' in the tall grass Till the evening shadows fell Taking every moment at a time Will she come again tomorrow? I can never tell It might sound weird but lately I don't mind So long little girl Fly on like a bird Spread your wings I won't ask you where you've been Or where you're going You're too bold for this world You're pure gold little girl Didn't I tell you? Funny, but I thought you knew People say she's crazy With a mixed up 60ies mind To me she's a comfort and a mercy through and through When she apears in my window Every once in a while We always find some groovy things to do

Street 04:00

STREET I did my time Behind these bedroom walls Talking to my TV set Eating from the floor Had a real bad case of soul starvation Now look who's back in circulation I won't let up until I'm through I'm so overdue I'm back on the street Chase the neon light I'm under the influence But I'm doin' alright Back on the street Back in the game Street hustlers and go-go dancers They all know my name All these good lookin' dancers Takin' care of me They're so sweet but I gotta move on I don't wanna draw the heat Better watch out for Johnny Tattoo He's got a gun and he's looking for you Well, I guess I got my dues to pay But I ain't gonna fade away I'm back on the street Saturday night One spark and I'll go off I'm liquid dynamite Back on the street Off the chain And I can't be stopped I'm a runaway train The girls on the side streets with their back against the wall They sell no truth of any kind No time for broken hearts, no time to sing the blues Just wanna get off tonight Who's that stranger in the silvery dress I just like to put her to the test Her two-tone kisses aim to kill She said: If you won't rock me then your brother will Back on the street Saturday night One spark and I'll go off I'm liquid dynamite Back on the street Off the chain I just can't be stopped Like a runaway train Street...

Song About You 05:52
lyrics

SONG ABOUT YOU After you've gone I might write a song about you Don't get me wrong I get along without you Well... It's not the calm before the storm This is the end (my beautiful friend) Noone came out here with bell, book and candle To make it right again (not this time) So I'm going down I'm going all the way I'm going down, down, down Drowning in the weight Love begged for a sudden death But we killed it nice and slow I heard rumours about you and that boy Well, I don't want to know I know you're going down Make your little getaway You're going down, down, down And I won't make you stay You told me those lies And made me think they're true Woman, how you played me out And still I'm missing you But I found someone to dry my tears A friend so kind and true Walking side by side with the blues I packed my bags a thousand times Can't seem to make it out the door You left your coat and shoes here in closet But you ain't comin' back no more It's all going down There's nothing left to say Yes, We're going down, down, down Only in a different way Yea, time keeps moving May you find somebody new Who'll give you all the things you need And shine a light on you Me, I found a new soul companion To tell my trouble to Walking side by side with the blues

MOVE Uh gypsy woman I noticed you around Sweet magic woman Can you feel the sound Can you feel the sound Ain't talkin' bout love Ain't lookin' for romance Just wanna make you dance Wanna make you dance Wanna make you dance Got nothing to hide Got nothing to prove Just gonna make you move Gonna make you move Gonna make you move Won't do you no harm Won't give you the blues Just gonna turn you loose Gonna turn you loose Gonna turn you loose If you shake - I'll rattle I won't let you down If you slip - I'll slide Around and around Ain't talkin' bout love Ain't lookin' for romance Just wanna make you dance Wanna make you dance Wanna make you dance
